Gallbladder removal: what to expect at Spire Manchester Hospital

When you choose Spire, you’ll be invited for a consultation to begin with. From there, your consultant can determine the best way forward and how to go about the procedure.

On the day, simply turn up and the team will show you to your room. When everything’s ready, they’ll give you general anaesthetic and the operation will only last for a couple of hours. Afterwards the team will be on hand to provide excellent aftercare, whether you leave in a few hours or stay with us for a few days.

How much does Gallbladder / gallstone removal (cholecystectomy) cost at Spire Manchester Hospital

It’s a common operation to have done privately, and our inclusive prices and access to payment plans make it easy and more affordable, even if you don’t have medical insurance.

The price shown is the ‘from price’ (ie the minimum cost of the procedure). Please note that for some procedures the actual price you are quoted may vary significantly and can increase depending on your choice of Consultant (who is an independent practitioner and not an employee of Spire). The fees charged by Consultants and Anaesthetists are set independently and are outside the control of Spire. The price may also vary depending on the type of anaesthetic, implant or drug used, and your medical history.

Spire Manchester Hospital can provide you with a single, fixed price for your procedure so there are no surprises. Please read Spire Healthcare's terms and conditions for full details of what’s included and excluded in your fixed price when paying for yourself. Finance options are available through our partner Omni Capital Retail Finance Ltd, 10 Norwich Street, London, EC4A 1BD.
